The immortal valet, Jeeves, shimmers to Bertie Wooster's assistance time and again in the first volume of these side-splittingly funny tales. Whether saving a cabinet minister from a marauding swan, rescuing Bertie's chums from bowls of proverbial soup, or arranging unhingeing performances of 'Sonny Boy', Jeeves' genius (and Wodehouse's) is unparalleled. Especially concerning the extraordinary incident of the punctured hot-water bottle! Tuppy Glossop, Bingo Little, Sippy Sipperly, even Bertie's formidable Aunt Agatha - all have reason to be grateful to Jeeves. But Jeeves' greatest achievements is, of course, in saving Bertie from himself. Classics Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Literature & Fiction Funny

Critic reviews

"No one can do the milky, imperious voice of a marriage-brokering aunt like Martin Jarvis. What a good egg he is!"
"Wodehouse brightens up the dullest day and lightens the heaviest heart. So give yourself tonic by listening to this comedy classic."
"Martin Jarvis brings the madcap world of Bertie Wooster and his brilliant valet Jeeves to life with canny comedic timing."

Can't get much better than Martin Jarvis for reading Edwardian escapism, whether it's Jeeves and Wooster or Just William.

What made the experience of listening to Very Good Jeeves, Volume 1 the most enjoyable?

I've always known about Wodehouse, Wooster and Jeeves. These books were always in my father's library. Listening to them now brought back that golden age of England's aristocracy and memories of my father's smile as he sat reading them. But the book in itself is so enjoyable, the delivery is excellent, bringing the characters to life, each in its own excellence. I was laughing out loud as I listened to them come to life.

What did you like best about this story?

The pranks are amazing, the style of writing excepcional and so specific to Wodehouse.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Any scene where Wooster is confronted by a new problem sends me laughing. Poor man!

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed out loud many times! My husband came to ask what was I laughing about. I'm even smiling now!

Any additional comments?

Thank you for this amazing book. And please convey my deepest gratitude and appreciation to the performer.
